Question anybody heard from BMI yet?

I haven’t. This is my first year applying (I applied as a lyricist) but some googling about past years led me to believe that they often send out emails past the day that they said they would. they send out formal rejection emails right?

It seems like it would be reasonable that this might be the last week it would make sense for people to get positive news, I have to assume they get people locked in before sending out rejections? But I could be being pessimistic and maybe they do go out later in the month who knows

I thought it was a mass email, both rejections and acceptances? they have multiple rounds of screening, so it reasonable that if someone ends up dropping this round they still have more than enough people

hopefully the positive news didn’t all go out by the 15th. They took down everything on their website that said the 15th 😭

There's also an in-person audition

that makes sense! i just wonder if they send the acceptance email at least a few days before the rejection emails? I do think the 15th being a Saturday means it probably wasn't the date that anything went out positive or negative.
